What does this mean? Does His Majesty intend to take their lives no matter what?
They finally managed to disarm him and save their own lives, and now he's practically begging to be assassinated!
The palace servants looked at each other in bewilderment. In the end, it was Su Ba, who was most trusted by Yin Changling, who stepped forward and cautiously offered his advice.
"Your Majesty, you mustn't harm him—"
"All of you, get out of my way!"
Yin Changling was unwilling to let anyone ruin his plans at this moment. He was pursuing his little queen, and if the woman really killed him, then he deserved it.
"His Majesty!"
"Get out, and don't make me say it a second time!"
"yes."
Su Ba sighed inwardly, resigned. Well, he was just a nobody, and his words carried no weight. He should say as little as possible.
Su Ba led the rest of the palace servants downstairs, and after a rustling sound, not a single corner of their clothes could be seen.
Now, the main hall was completely empty, leaving only Tu Shan Lingxi and Yin Changling.
When Yin Changling faced Tu Shan Lingxi, the corners of his mouth turned up, and his expression unconsciously carried a hint of flattery, as if he could change his expression at will.
"Don't be afraid. I've already driven away all these meddlesome people. Now you can do whatever you want with me, okay?"
Fearing she wouldn't dare come over, Yin Changling specially picked up Longxiao from the ground. This precious sword, which could cut through iron like mud, was thus used as a tool to please the beauty.
However, his actions caused Tu Shan Lingxi to misunderstand. Her voice was filled with panic as she spoke in a coquettish tone.
"What do you want to do, you tyrant? You want to kill me?"
Tu Shan Lingxi doesn't understand the rules of the human race. She died too young in her previous life, and in this life she is pampered by the Grand Preceptor and has not been taught the rules of the human race.
Little did she know that if she weren't someone Yin Changling cherished, she would have been executed long ago!
But the little fox didn't care. She was the type to say whatever came to mind, and this was blatantly calling Yin Changling a "tyrant."
Yin Changling was taken aback. He hadn't heard anyone speak to him like that in a long time. They wouldn't even dare to raise their voices, let alone insult him.
But when Yin Changling looked at the woman in front of him, she was so nervous that she was about to cry. Her bright almond-shaped eyes were watery and the corners of her eyes were red, which was particularly noticeable on her fair face.
The tension and panic in her eyes were almost overflowing, which made Yin Changling feel extremely distressed.
"Don't be afraid. I just want you to use this sword for self-defense. Don't be afraid, I won't move anymore, okay?"
Seeing this, Yin Changling quickly threw down the Dragon Roar Sword. His hands were empty, and he held them high, looking silly and somewhat funny.
...
"Hmph, I'll reluctantly forgive you."
Tu Shan Lingxi was amused by his silly appearance and burst into laughter through her tears. She let out a soft hum and whimpered.
Even though she was terrified, she was amused by Yin Changling's foolish behavior. She temporarily let her guard down and spoke more casually.
"Weren't you supposed to be dealing with that Marquis of the North? Why did you suddenly turn back? You've ruined my appetite!"
Tu Shan Lingxi complained softly. She first glanced at Yin Changling with her bright eyes, and only when she saw that he did not show any signs of anger did she feel a little relieved.
"It was my fault. I thought there was an assassin in the palace, but I almost accidentally injured you. By the way, could you tell me where you came from?"
Yin Changling asked cautiously, worried that his questions might make the woman uncomfortable.
His black hair was fixed on the woman, as if afraid that she might disappear from his sight in the blink of an eye, and he couldn't bear such a blow.
Thinking of this, he asked aloud, his worry barely concealed.
"Could you disappear? Would you rather stay? If you vanish, where will I find you?"
Tu Shan Lingxi, however, thought the exact opposite of what he expected. At this moment, she remembered that she also knew the teleportation technique.
But he couldn't just disappear in broad daylight right under Yin Changling's nose; wouldn't that be like walking into a trap and letting him discover his identity?
The little fox racked its brains and finally came up with a good excuse.
"I don't know where I came from, and I don't remember my name. I just woke up and found myself in your palace. I was starving, so I'll have a meal first."
That's right, the little fox knew a principle: one lie requires countless lies to cover it up, but since she couldn't lie herself, she decided to pretend to have amnesia.
Our main characteristic is that we know nothing when asked – no name, no age, and no home.
Tu Shan Lingxi didn't know that even if she was pretending to have amnesia, there were still many loopholes. For example, her eyes were so guilty that she didn't dare to look people in the eye, and her pupils were darting around in a panic.
"You really don't remember anything?"
Yin Changling disliked being lied to. If any of the ministers dared to conceal even the slightest thing, he would interrogate them for several days.
But when it came to this young girl, Yin Changling couldn't muster a single ounce of anger, which was truly terrifying.
However, since the woman is so bold as to deceive her "tyrant," then she should be taught a small lesson.
"Ahem, well, if you don't remember where your home is, you probably have nowhere to go. I find you quite pleasing to the eye, so stay and keep me company."
Yin Changling "patiently and skillfully coaxed" the woman, taking advantage of her fear of admitting she was lying, and let her spout nonsense. He didn't care about anything else, but he was determined to keep the woman by his side.
"Since you've stayed, I won't leave you with nothing. Since you like this food, I'll take care of you every day."
Yin Changling could tell that she was an extremely gluttonous woman, just like the little fox kept in the Imperial Preceptor's mansion—simple and adorable.
It makes him extremely happy the moment he sees it, and even if he does nothing but stay in one place, his heart softens.
Yin Changling couldn't bear to force or threaten her, so he had no choice but to lure her with benefits, using food to tempt her to stay.
He secretly rejoiced that the chefs he had found were all quite capable; otherwise, this little girl wouldn't have liked these dishes.
From now on, I need to collect more things that women love, so that she becomes dependent on me and can no longer live without me.
Tu Shan Lingxi hesitated as expected. People die for wealth, and foxes die for food. Since she was already here, why not eat something?
But this is the tyrant's territory. What if he does something to me, like he just did, like killing a demon?
Thinking of this, the little fox looked up and carefully observed the tyrant's expression, trying to see if he was up to anything.
But she happened to meet the man's smiling eyes, and the sincerity in them. Should she... trust him one more time?
